i will definitely lower it, but i need to resolve the shocks hardness issue, i have a feeling that i need a rear wheel camber adjustment because there is a very little difference between the gaps or that i need new shocks at least for the rear cause i am feeling a wavy motion when i go beyond 100mph i will need to go have a service soon so maybe i will do every thing together.. thanks for the comments, i wish we had roads that are "19 inch friendly"....
